It's fascinating and revolting at the same time how the essence of your comment is once again the "everything sucks" garbage.
There are billions of lines of top-quality code in existence, and millions of lines that should be counted among humanity's great works of art, but no, it's all "Lego bricks".
Most artists don't produce anything remotely like Michelangelo or Picasso, yet Michelangelo and Picasso are what people think of when they hear the word "art". No one says "art is so terrible, just stick figure drawings everywhere".
The perception of software engineering reflected in your comment is not grounded in reality but in culture. An ultimately destructive culture of negativity and self-deprecation. And I'm so fucking tired of it that I wish I had chosen a different profession.
